Welcome
An AI writing assistant that makes sense...
Dear readers,
In this week's edition, I'll be covering a writing assistant based on early Artificial Intelligence programming.
A lot has been said about the impact of AI in marketing and communications, but this is the first test for me of a tool that actually delivers reasonable results.
But I assure you, this newsletter is still written by me and not a machine. 😊
So enjoy my human (= not perfect) writing and the tool of this week!

Tool
This is the new tool for your arsenal
Writesonic - Convert one-liners into articles, blog posts, ads and more.
Let a machine help you on your way. Add a topic and Writesonic will develop (editable) text in different formats of your choice. If not 100% perfect, it saves me an enormous amount of time.
What does it do?
Writesonic has 4 simple steps...
Select from their collection of copy templates like landing pages, ads, etc. Then enter a concise description (1-2 lines) of your product, service or topic as input.
Finally, hit the "Generate" button to generate a dozen high-converting copy variants which you can adapt and edit.
PR Application?
Will Writesonic replace your copywriter?
No, not at all... But I have seen it "create" better press release copy than the average ones I see coming through the wire services.
For me, it helps me get strong outlines and "start copy" for longer articles and blog posts. It also generates good advertising copy and creates summaries.
It will soon be able to generate SEO Meta Descriptions, Twitter and Instagram ads as well. And it does this in several languages (not all formats, but still).
